- My homage to a little valley in Co. Wicklow, Ireland. If you've never been to Ireland, then you've probably never heard of it - if you have been to Ireland, then you probably remember it with warm and fuzzy feelings in your heart.
This video shows why I adore this beautiful place and treasure my memories of it.

The main artifacts from the Irish Dark Ages can be seen in the National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin. The Book of Kells can be seen in Trinity College Library, Dublin.
Many of the artifacts shown in this video are actually full-sized, accurate replicas created in the 19th century, on display in the Ulster Museum, Belfast, Northern Ireland. This is because the National Museum in Dublin forbids photography, and the Ulster Museum allows photography.
While My sister was a University student in the north of Ireland she asked my grandfather and me to meet and stay with her on my Godmothers farm outside Tuam. All of my grandparents emigrated to Boston between WW1 and WW2, so I grew up in a family that talked about Ireland as if it were the magical Kingdom of Xanadu. There were times that I was cynical of their Irish affinity, but then I visited Glendalough when we were spending a weekend in Dublin. We walked along the Valley as my sister and I caught up on each of our lives an unmistakable sense of peace and joy came over me, I will never forget that feeling, and now I have a greater affinity for Ireland.
What a lovely story. Thanks for sharing it
Could feel the prayers of the centuries echoing off the hills coursing through my body and soul. Truly sacred.
A beautiful and sacred place. We stayed there two years ago, in a perfect b&b, right at the end of the valley.
Would you mind sharing the name of that B&B please?

💚🇮🇪☘🇮🇪💚
Precious! Thank you so very much. 🙏❤️☘️
I have been to Perth, W.A. many years ago (U.S. Navy) and was astounded @ the hospitality & freindliness of The Aussies. I am also proud that you keep up your Irish heritage. (as do I) This film was well done & very informative! My Irish isn't fluent..but I'm getting there...it's very difficult. As the Irish say: "Is fearr liom Gaeilge briste na Bearla cliste".."I prefer broken Irish to clear English"! Aris, go raibh maith agat! Again, thank you!
I go about four times every year. My absolute favourite place, its takes your heart and mind and then you have to go back to feel whole.
Thank you!
Great video comrade, heading there tomorrow for the first time. Cheers for the upload.
Every time I go to Glendalough and have to leave my heart hurts ~ it feels like that's where I belong. It is definitely a sacred place. I hope it is preserved forever. I'll be there again next June!
It certainly is a very special place.
Wow!!!
Glendalough is a place where two hearts united for eternity!!!
Beautiful place , I've been twice already and I'm itching for my next stay!
😍😍😍
i guess it's kind of off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch new movies online?
@Davis Wilson Flixportal :P
@Gabriel Hugo Thank you, I went there and it seems to work =) I appreciate it !
Lovely video of a lovely and very special place. I love Glendalough! My favorite place in Ireland as well.
Lovely video of one of my favourite places.
Very good video. Thank you.
Great depiction of the place, Aussiemarco. I'm from Perth WA and will going to Ireland with my two daughters in June and because of your video Glendalough will be one of the first things we see and I'll make sure we stay longer than 15 minutes! My wife said Wicklow is the real Ireland but I didn't believe her and always thought the west coast was.
Hi Colin. I'm really pleased my video has helped you find Glendalough. I think you're right, as a region the west coast of Ireland is the 'real' Ireland. Counties Kerry, Clare, Sligo and Galway are absolutely stunning. Nothing can beat driving the 'Ring of Kerry' or through Connemara on a bleak, windswept day. The landscape is awe inspiring! But for me, the most beautiful place in Ireland is little Glendalough. Have a great time in magnificent Ireland!
will be returning to glendalough this weekend to where my fathers ashes were scattered... what an unbelievably beautiful place
I live in Ireland and I go to glendalough all the time one my favourite places too ^.^
@@ezicarus8216 you can park for free in the hotel although the fee helps support the upkeep of the location. The next valley over (Glenmalure) is much more rustic and, imo, trumps Glendalough.
Cheers mate never been to Ireland but hope to go there next June for a family thing
It's great to see when someone appreciates these places. What you said at the end was lovely. Beannacht Dé leat.
Is cuimhin liom Gleann da Locha go maith. Bhi me anseo 1980. Na bigi ag dearmad Naomh Lorcan O' Tuathail ! Go mbeannai Dia daoibh !
I sure do miss Glendalough! Magical place! Cheers, mate
beautiful! i hope one day ill get the chance to go there.
i also hope that more episodes of you series are coming soon! :)
Linda, you expressed my feelings exactly.
She is so beautiful, no wonder the Brits wanted her so badly :)
Beautiful, I was there a month ago..
I want to go again
There's a shot from the Wicklow mountains in the movie The nephew near the end with sunrays shining unto one of the lakes way in the diistance,it is the most beautiful sight to get the shot as perfect as that.pity there wasn't a picture of it online tho but i will keep searching.I'm from northern ireland but am determined to go to wicklow @ some stage with a camera.

Hello Mark,
Gerry Kelly of Kelly Taxi Dublin.
This combined with Powerscourt House and Gardens is my most popular tour.
I would like your permission to use this video on my Taxi site.
Many thanks for a great Video........
Heard that a woman died in the lake at Glendalough like years ago.
Ba mhaith liom a ceoil seo. Ar fheabhas! Go hAlainn! Go raibh maith agat, Aussie! Beannacht De leat agus beannacht De le hanamacha na marbh!
good video and all, but at 2:12 that's glenmacnass not glendalough!
Quite right, but as Glenmacnass Waterfall is only 9 kms from Glendalough, it's still in the same area ;-)
Marco..... music is too loud over your narration.....
This is a good video but, you keep saying Irish Dark Ages with reference to this time period. I'm sorry to bother you with this but you couldn't be further from the truth. The Irish Dark age was c. 100 c.e. to about 300 c.e. so long before the introduction of Christianity to Ireland. Whilst the early medieval age (c.430 c.e. to about 1160 c.e.) was in fact a thriving Golden age of art and enlightenment in Ireland.
Thanks for your comment. I accept them, however when writing the commentary, I had to 1) keep the video fairly short (around 10 mins) and 2) not bog the viewer down in detail. By referring to the period that Glendalough was at its peak as the 'Dark Ages', viewers with no knowledge of history will know the point of reference the video is discussing. Referring to the time as the Early Medieval Period would mean those without prior knowledge wouldn't know when this actually was. This is travel video, after all, not a history lesson.
Is cuimhim liom Gleann da Locha go maith. Bhi me anseo 1979. A Naomh Choemhgan ata i bparthas a Mhic De gan locht a bheir slainte is do grasta don te is bocht. A Naomh Choemhgan thainig me i do lathairse agus me lag gan luth. Faigh aras dom i bparthas ait i bhfeicfidh me thu !
